Nassau Coliseum Crumbling

via Dan Martin of the NY Post,
People have been saying the Nassau Coliseum has been falling apart for years. Now it is—literally.
Strong winds brought down two pieces of the aluminum façade that goes around the entire building at approximately 5:30 yesterday—about 90 minutes before the Islanders hosted the Devils—near the box office. The larger piece was 10 feet by 18 feet.
No one was injured and the box office entrance was closed, because other pieces also appeared close to falling.

If you can’t fit in the seat, it’s not the seat. Try Jenny Craig.

It kinda sounds like the lighthouse project is all but dead, too bad for the Islanders and their fans, a new stadium to usher in a new era with the franchise to go along with all of their young talent would have been cool.

That place is such a dump…it makes the Mellon look like the Taj Mahal.
My wife and I were down there for their home opener against the Pens and I literally had to sit sideways in my seat because my shins were being crushed by the seat in front of me. I’m not a small guy, but I’m not what you’d call a giant, either (6’1”-ish). Zero leg room. And I had to take stuff out of my pockets to sit down, too. No idea how some of the heavier guys and gals in attendance could even fit their butts in the seats.
It was a great crowd, too. It may be a little unwarranted, but I definitely didn’t expect them to be so…ravenous. They deserve better, for sure. I haven’t been keeping up with their quest for a new arena, but I hope they get one. They deserve it.
